Day 1

THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[ROMANS 15:13, MEV]

THE LAMB OF God left the realms of glory and came down here to be footsore, dusty, weary, and scorned. He said, I am come to do Thy will, O God. If He had not borne all these things and had not gone all the way to the cross, the Holy Ghost never could have come. If He had been left in the tomb, the Holy Ghost never could have come. As soon as He arose from the dead and ascended into heaven, the Holy Ghost could come.

God gave His Son the highest place before all the hosts of heaven; then He sent the Holy Ghost to dwell in these bodies, His temple. The Holy Ghost is a great power. He is compared to wind, water, and fire.

At Pentecost He came like a cyclone and a mighty rushing wind. He is to come like rivers of living water. He comes as fire. Tongues of fire sat upon each of the hundred and twenty people at Pentecost. Wind, water, and fire—the most destructive elements we have, yet the most useful.

God uses them to denote the mighty power of the Holy Ghost; and He was to be given after Jesus was glorified. We see many demonstrations of His mighty power, and we can but speak the things we have seen and heard of His glory and majesty. When we know these things, we are witnesses to His power, majesty, and glory. Glory to God!

—MARIA WOODWORTH-ETTER

Day 2

SANCTIFIED BEFORE PENTECOST

You are already clean through the word which I have spoken to you.

[JOHN 15:3, MEV]

BY READING THE Bible carefully, you can see that the disciples were saved and sanctified men and had received the unction of the Holy Spirit before the Day of Pentecost.

In John 17:15–17, Jesus prays, I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Jesus is the Word and the truth, so they were sanctified through the truth the very night that He prayed for them.

Jesus said to the disciples, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained (John 20:21–23).

The disciples were filled with the unction of the Holy Spirit—the anointing—before the Day of Pentecost when Jesus breathed on them. This sustained them until they were endued with power from on high.

In the first chapter of Acts, Jesus taught His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father. This was not to wait for sanctification. His blood had been spilt on Calvary’s cross. He was not going to send His blood to cleanse them from carnality but His Spirit to endue them with power. They went up to Jerusalem praising and blessing God with great joy. They all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication.

—WILLIAM J. SEYMOUR

Jesus, pour out Your Spirit on me, that Joel’s prophecy might be fulfilled in my life.
